Step 4: Signal Connection
Use the best speaker cables you can. Higher
quality cables, available from your specialty
dealer, are recommended and will give you
superior performance.
Attach your speaker cables to the signal input
section on the rear panel. Be consistent when
connecting speaker leads to the terminals on the
back of the EM-ESL C.
For detailed setup instructions, please turn to the
Speaker Level Connection section of this manual
for more details.
Step 5: Listen and Enjoy
Now, you may turn on your system and enjoy!
Congratulations! You have invested in one of the
world’s premier speaker systems.
The ElectroMotion ESL C (EM-ESL C) represents
an advanced combination of sonic technologies
establishing an unprecedented direction for
audiophile design. The result of years of research,
the new EM-ESL C hybrid electrostatic loudspeaker
delivers new standards for efficiency, dynamics
and precision in a floor standing loudspeaker.
The EM-ESL C’s CLS XStat™ transducer builds
upon the legacy of MartinLogan’s electrostatic
heritage with the incorporation of advanced
vacuum bonding and MicroPerf stat panels,
providing even greater efficiency and precision.
The integration electrical interface technology
developed by MartinLogan’s CLX engineering
team extends effortless dynamics and purity,
resulting in even higher sonic standards of
efficiency and precision.
Featuring an advanced crossover topology,
MartinLogan carefully builds each EM-ESL C
crossover utilizing precision components to
flawlessly preserve sonic subtleties while effortlessly
handling the broadest range of dynamics
contained within even the most demanding sonic
source.
The materials in your new EM-ESL C speakers are
of the highest quality and will provide years of
enduring enjoyment and deepening respect. The
cabinetry is constructed from the highest quality
composite material for acoustical integrity.
Through rigorous testing, the curvilinear electrostatic
panel has proven itself to be one of the most
durable and reliable transducers available today.
Fabricated from a custom tool punched high-grade
steel, the patented panel is then coated with a
special polymer that is applied via a proprietary
electrostatic bonding process. This panel assembly
houses a membrane just 0.0005 of an inch thick.
The other sections of your User’s Manual explain
in detail the operation of your EM-ESL C speakers
and the philosophy applied to their design. A clear
understanding of your speakers will insure that you
obtain maximum performance and pleasure from
this most exacting transducer. It has been designed
and constructed to give you years of trouble-free
listening enjoyment.
